Patient's question:
The baby is two months old and often makes wheezing sounds, as if there is a lump in the throat. When feeding, if the baby strains too hard, there will be a humming sound in the throat. The sound is particularly loud. A few days ago, the baby went to an ear, nose, and throat specialist for a thorough examination, and the doctor said that the lungs and throat are fine. What could be the issue?Doctor's answer:
Your description suggests a respiratory infection, which has caused nasal turbinates to swell, intermittent nasal congestion, and the possibility of recurring nasal discharge. The discharge may crust in the anterior nasal cavity. To relieve nasal congestion, you can use physiological saline nasal spray, which you can easily use at home. It is important to pay attention to avoiding repeated exposure to cold temperatures.Regarding the question, "At two months, the baby often makes wheezing and snoring sounds—what could be the cause?"—this is all the information we can provide. We hope the patient can soon overcome the discomfort of the illness and enjoy healthy days every day~
